normal tissue

After 21 days obliteration of piles with fibrosis at the site of pile mass will be achieved which ensure
non recurrence of piles

Kshara patana acts on piles in two ways

It cauterises the pile mass directly because of its corrosive nature

It coagulates the protein in the hemorrhoidal plexus . The coagulation of proein leads to dissentigration of haemoglobin into haem and globin. Synergy of these actions results in decreasing the size of the pile mass

Further necrosis of the tissue in the hemorrhodal vein occurs. This tissue sloughs out as blackish brown discharge for 3 to 7 days. The tissue becomes fibrosed and scar formation is seen. Hemorrhoidal vein obliterates permanently and there is no recurrence of piles
